Great information!
Project PACER was certainly an attempt to introduce fusion reactors with the technology we currently have Mastery of.
In the early 1970s, both LANL and LLNL National Labs had PACER fusion programs.
Dr. Ralph Moir was the project leader for this program at LLNL.
Inertial Confinement fusion is "controlled fusion" to the very same extent as Magnetic Confinement fusion (the same fuels and fusion reactions are used and the same nuclear waste [stable nonradioactive Helium] is produced.
